Description

Measuring heavy commercial switchboards without service interruption.

Chint DTSU666-CT is a high-precision Class 0.5S commercial three-phase smart energy meter engineered to interface with external 5 A secondary current transformers (from 100 A to thousands of amps), delivering sub-second RS485 Modbus telemetry for commercial zero-export control and industrial peak shaving.

  • Interfaces with External 5 A Secondary CTs

    Measures commercial switchboards of any current capacity (from 100 A up to thousands of amps) using standard current transformers.

  • Class 0.5S Utility-Grade High Precision

    High measurement precision for precise commercial demand management, power factor analysis, and sub-billing.

  • Bidirectional 4-Quadrant Energy Tracking

    Tracks active and reactive energy import and export across all 3 phases in real time.

  • Universal Inverter Compatibility (Modbus RTU)

    Pre-calibrated communication profile natively supported by SAJ, GoodWe, and major European commercial inverter brands.

More product details

Commercial main switchboards often carry 100 A to 1,000 A+ across thick copper busbars that cannot be severed for direct-feed meters. The DTSU666-CT interfaces with external split-core or solid-core current transformers.

  • 1.5(6) A rated inputs accept secondary current from standard 5 A external CTs.
  • Programmable CT ratio (e.g. 100/5 A, 400/5 A, 1000/5 A) configured directly via front keypad.
  • Measures active energy, reactive energy, voltage, current, and power factor simultaneously.

Sub-second zero-export closed-loop control with certified precision.

Sub-second zero-export closed-loop control with certified precision.

Sizing multi-inverter commercial zero-export systems requires tight synchronization between the meter and the plant controller (e.g., SAJ eManager-C1 Pro or GoodWe SEC1000). The DTSU666-CT provides high-speed telemetry. High-speed RS485 Modbus RTU interface broadcasts power metrics to inverters every few hundred milliseconds. Class 0.5S active energy accuracy ensures strict compliance with utility zero-export limits. Standard 35 mm DIN-rail mount (72 mm / 4U width) fits standard commercial distribution boards.

Ratios from 200/5 to 4000/5

A site that grows needs new transformers and a new number in the meter - not a new meter. The ratio is a programmable parameter from 1 to 9999, which is what lets one model serve the whole commercial range.

Product questions

What current transformers should be paired with the DTSU666-CT?

Any standard Class 0.5 or Class 1.0 CT with a 5 A secondary output (e.g. 200/5 A, 400/5 A, 800/5 A). The meter connects to standard xx/5 A current transformers (such as Chint BH-0.66-30I or MBS KBU-58 series). Installers configure the transformation ratio directly in the meter's setup menu.

System components

Required components

MBS KBU 58 split-core CT, pick the ratio matching site current

Item number: DLK-MBS-KBU58-400-5A

DTSU666-CT needs 3 external CTs with a 5 A secondary (not included with the meter): KBU 58 supplies that interface across six ratios. Not needed for the direct-connect DTSU666.
